You can't bury Tony.

Amanda Shires: Nobody's Girl

So all three pianists playing at the same time?

“Barry Harris plays Barry Harris” Xanadu LP Great piano sound.

I bought all of the historical masters CDs too, but they were superseded by the great Japanese box set:

I have the limited edition of Lester Young Vol 1, the number is somewhere in the 1200s iirc... good to know it also exists in an unlimited version in case I lose it

This is my only 'limited' Lester Young ... 😂

I'm listening to a disc from the SACD set now. It's true that the soloists are mic'd more directly and "louder," but the bass and drums don't seem "deeply buried in the mix" to me. . . it sounds like many a real club performance I've heard where the horns are mic'd more than the rest of the band. Certainly studio recordings of this Quintet have bass and drums more prominent.

Love this one. A warm and drizzly morning! Going to be a rainy day. I’ll dream away when I can. Starting off with a re-listen to this disc from yesterday as it sounds SO good and the system is warming up with it nicely. “The End and Everything After” Jangeun Bae Trio 170×152 16.8 KB On to MIles Davis "Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel" Tower Records/Sony SACD set disc 5

I also have this CD, as 'LIMITED EDITION NO. 1642 OF 2000" 😂

Agreed, that's why I scanned the back insert. All the other five front covers are just as irrelevant ...

I would have just about (just barely) understood THAT cover "artwork" for a reissue of some down-home country blues. But this??? Booker Little?

👍

I remember when the entire series was on display at the big Saturn store in Cologne, as a group they actually looked kind of nice... that label made some pretty weird choices for cover art... here's more (often you need to click on the record to find the cover in this design) https://www.discogs.com/label/59478-Jazz-View

I guess I must admire you for looking beyond that off-putting front "artwork" that is so out of tune (literally) with the music and is not far from detracting from the contents. Not a highlight in cover artwork creativity ... (What were they thinking ?)

Who's picking a fight with you? I am just not convinced your "memory" of this is at all accurate. You are a champion of accuracy, so am I. I may be wrong that there was not a complete run defective disc, but I see no evidence that there was. That cdjapan description is for the SACD set that Tower Records released and repressed. One can ASSUME that Sony themselves reused the same Redbook master that was used for that set for the new cd set, and that they also used the same Mosaic Records tapes for the LP set, but. . . that's not necessarily the case, and record labels don't always do logical things. I think further information may be needed to have concrete results.

I have all six volumes of these "Historical Masters" with broadcasts with "Lester Young, The President" ...

yes it is with a slight order modification

That CD is an exact copy of Ambrosia 010 I believe... One big plus of those Ambrosia LPs is that on the back cover there is a nice overview of the contents of about 20 different bootleg LPs of this type (Ambrosia, Session Disc, CP records, ESP Disk, Session Disc, Queen Disc etc etc). Unfortunately, that list does not come with lineups... So those must have been added later and with possible mistakes
